This (in response to Daniel's post) is a more advanced tool to examine movies utilizing pattern analysis, including color, movement, sound etc, part of a trend that goes back many years already. They are a kind of "fingerprints" or unique identifiers for a film.
Take a look at Movie Core and other works by Frederic Brodbeck the developer of Cinemetrics.
In a related technology, for those of you who have ever wondered how the app Shazam works its magic here is a link to a PDF that explains the inner workings of another fascinating "fingerprinting" technology that allows to identify practically any song or piece of music in seconds.
How these technologies can be applied depends on your interests. However they have such an strong aesthetic appeal that I can just enjoy them as a window into a parallel universe.
